Wasn't the Poly88 referred to as "The Toaster" for its snap on 4 slot,
S-100 expansion and its tendency to run hot?

As far as the Poly 88 is concerned, I probably have at least 3 in
various states "buried" someplace. I sold the most complete one some
number of years ago.
Along a similar vein, I probably have the worlds largest collection of
remaining original Poly docs (a three drawer file cabinet) all organized
by part number I obtained after Poly closed their doors. Note again,
they are organized by part number rather than description. If anyone
needs copies of the docs, let me know the part number, and I can check
to see if I have them. Additionally, I have a bunch (100?) of partly
build S100 cards. I took some of them to VCFMW a number of years ago,
but there was little interest in them.
